New cases of the deadly Swine Flu virus have been confirmed as far afield as New Zealand and Israel, as the UN warns it can no longer be contained.

The US, Canada, Spain and Britain now have confirmed cases, but no deaths have been reported outside Mexico, where the virus was first reported.

Mexico has raised the number of probable deaths to 152, with 1,614 suspected sufferers currently under observation.

UN inspectors are to examine reports pig farms may have spread the virus.

The UN's health agency, the World Health Organization (WHO), confirmed that the flu had been transmitted between humans. WHO chief Dr Keiji Fukuda said it was not inevitable that the outbreak would develop into a global epidemic - or pandemic - but countries should "take the opportunity to prepare".

Countries with suspected cases now include Brazil, Guatemala, Peru, Australia, South Korea, and seven EU states.
